Like I say, we make absolutely no secret of the charging model. It's in red warning labels on the outside of the box and also before you read the manual. As I say you are getting £100+ worth of electronics for £20-£30 so it's hopefully obvious why there has to be a subsidy payback mechanism. As always you pays yer money and you takes yer choice!
We may not have a network to support (though Demon-Thus who act as our ISP do!) but we do have a h/w subsidy to support

While the mobile phone analogy works to a point, it's now a primarily usage based charging model, and anyway, mobiles have a network to support. Maybe if Amstrad had gone for usage rather than affectively daily rental plus usage charges, they may have sold a few more.
